List of adventive wild plants in Israel refers to species of vascular plants in Israel that were either introduced there by human activity or are of a cultivated origin, and meet at least one of the following criteria:

• species which have reached a self-propagating (naturalized) status in Israel, reproducing without further human intervention
• species that appear in natural habitats
• cultivated species that escape from cultivation or persist long after being abandoned

The first table lists species which are unquestionably non-indigenous to Israel; a second table lists species whose native distribution in Israel is questionable.
